Our family reads a short passage of Scripture each day, and then we share our thoughts about it when we are together. What I had written in my journal about verses within Galatians 3 prompted the following poem.

Galatians 3 in RhymeGod gave Abraham a promise.Abraham believed what God said.The agreement, blessing through the Seed,Required Jesus’ blood to be shed.Thorough His outpouring at Calvary,As He became cursed on a cross,Redemption was given to mankind.No soul would have to stay lost.All could inherit God’s Spirit.The sacred in man would reside.This blessing God promised to Abraham;Abraham believed that it would arrive.The law with its conditionsCold not impose a commandTo hinder the giving of this Gift,This promise God had planned.The Law was powerless to keep manFrom experiencing what God had said.Whetting hunger for a Savior,It created soul-emptiness instead.Man, realizing how imperfectHis best efforts always would be,Could look to the Perfect SacrificeFor hope for eternity.Just as Abraham was counted righteousBecause he simply believed,Man’s faith would be the connector For the Promise he could receive. Abraham believed what God would do.Now man believes what God has doneThat God provided an inheritanceThrough the death of his dear Son.The blessing for all nationsFunneled through Abraham’s SeedIs the indwelling Holy SpiritAll men can receive.Adorned in a robe of righteousnessThat the law could not obtain,Man wears Christ’s identity,The Seed’s precious, holy name.Authority and honor is givenMan shares benefits with the BelovedNot because of giving, but by receiving,The Promise God sent from above.
